Patient's question:
The baby is two months old. Since yesterday afternoon, the baby has been eating and drinking milk for a while and then stopping, then crying again later. When feeding the baby, they also refuse to eat. Today, when breastfeeding, the baby had a little cough and only ate a little before falling asleep. They also didn't sleep well, sometimes with their eyes slightly open, and then started crying again after a while.Doctor's answer:
When a baby is just born, it is quite common for them to feed for a short time or not pay attention. However, if this problem persists later, it must be noted. Difficulty breathing. If the mother's feeding posture is incorrect, the breast may cover the baby's nostrils. At this time, the mother only needs to press the breast in front of the baby's nostrils with her fingers. Additionally, check if there is any foreign object in the baby's nose. If there is, use a clean cotton swab to moisten it and gently moisten the baby's nasal cavity (note: the cotton swab should not be inserted too deep into the nose).
